This study is a cross-sectional descriptive survey done to identify the relationship between job stress and fatigue in operating room nurses. Data were collected by surveying 124 operating room nurses who were working in operating rooms at two advanced general hospitals and five general hospitals in G city in the province of C, and the survey was conducted by questionnaires. The data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, and Pearson's correlation coefficient. The level of job stress and fatigue were 3.64(0.45), and 3.46(0.60). In case of job stress in operating room nurses, there was statistically meaningful difference according to hospital type, and their fatigue levels showed statistically meaningful difference according to types of hospital, work motivation, and subjective health condition. There was positive correlation(r=0.47, p=<.001) between operating room nurses' job stress and fatigue. Therefore, this study has significance in the respect that it identified the relationship of job stress and fatigue in operating room nurses, and it will be used as the basis to develop job stress intervention program for operating room nurses.

The present study aims to investigate the association between knowledge, attitude, and practice of blood donating in an effort to increase the participation rate of blood donation among university students. Data was obtained among 272 in theirs 20s health sciences students in two university of South Korea through self-reported questionnaires including Knowledge, attitude, and behavioral practice regarding blood donation during 8st December 2014 to 12st December 2014. Pearson correlation test, student's t-test or descriptive statistics were performed for the data analysis. The results were as follows: 1) There was positive significant relationship between Attitude and behavioral practice towards blood donation(P <.05). 2) There was significant difference in the knowledge(P<.01) and attitude(P<.05) regarding blood donation according to public health vs non-public health. 3) The participants with previous blood donation experiences showed a higher participation rate than those without such an experience(P<.01). It is important not only to improve the university student's attitude towards blood donation through media advertising but also to reinforce the compensation offered to donors.

This study was carried out to investigate the mechanical and sensory properties of Teriyaki sauce made with different boiling time(6, 8, 10 and 12 hrs). The results were as follows. As for the mechanical characteristics, moisture contents, L-value, a-value, salinity and pH decreased with increasing boiling time. On the other way, viscosity, b-value and sugar contents of Teriyaki sauce increased with increasing boiling time. From results of quantitative descriptive analysis, offensive flavor was significantly different when examining Teriyaki sauce alone, but there was no difference when the sauce was accompanied with food. The 8 hr-boiling sauce was favored most in chicken with Teriyaki sauce, and 10hr-boiling sauce was favored most in eel.

This paper addresses a problem of non-dialog section detection for the DVS authoring, the goal of which is to find meaningful section from the broadcasting audio, where audio description can be inserted. The broadcasting audio involves the presence of various sounds so that it first discriminates between speech and non-speech for each audio frame. Proposed method jointly exploits the inter-channels structure and speech source characteristics of the broadcasting audio whose number of channel is stereo. Also, rule based post-processing is finally applied to detect the non-dialog section whose length is appropriate for audio description. Proposed method provides more accurate detection compared to conventional method. Experimental results on real broadcasting contents show that qualitative superiority of the proposed method.
